                           HON. STEVE ISRAEL

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 9, 2009

  Mr. ISRAEL.  Madam Speaker, I rise today to offer my sincere 
congratulations to my constituent, David Cohen, upon being awarded the 
Dick Steinberg Good Guy Award. This honor is given to a Jewish 
individual who best demonstrates the good aspects of sportsmanship.
  Like the award's namesake, David has earned the distinction in the 
sport of football. Dick Steinberg was the Vice-President and General 
Manager of the New York Jets for six years. He was widely regarded and 
was one of the most respected men in football. As Head Coach of the 
football team at Hofstra University, he has exemplified the behavior 
and character that the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame and Museum 
believes deserves to be recognized.
  I hope that he continues to act as a leader in our community and 
carry on the legacy of Dick Steinberg. Congratulations to David upon 
this receiving this great honor.
